He actually wanted to become a winegrower, but his love for beer brewing prevailed. Bart Devillé single-handedly converted an old pub in Buizingen into Brewery Den Herberg - including a real inn. There, son Akke and daughter Charlien enjoy serving the freshly brewed beers of the house. Tasting straight from the source.

Location and accessibility
Actually, Bart Devillé wanted to go to France to make wine. But it became beer. Instead of taking a course in wine making, he opted for a course in beer brewing. The old pub in Buizingen that he and his wife Ann Heremans bought as a warehouse for their construction company, he single-handedly converted into Brewery Den Herberg. Along with a cozy inn.
There, son Akke and daughter Charlien tap the house beers: Herberg Blond, Wheat, Triple, Brown and Cuvée Devillé. And out of love for the region, lambic and gueuze cannot be missed, of course. The lambic matures in oak barrels, both in the brewery in Buizingen and on the farm in Lembeek. Bart does not do this alone: his son Akke learned the trade from his father and is a great help.
Tasting? Just do it on the spot, in the warm, characterful inn where the beer always flows fresh from the tap.
Experience on site
From the inn to the brewery is literally just a step away.
